"The Privileged Sex", English ed., published

Book here. From the intro:

'The outline of the book is as follows. Chapter 1 sets the stage by examining several central beliefs about the oppression of women at various times and places in history, and then exposing them for the myths they are. Chapter 2 deals with the different paths that lead toward, respectively, manhood and womanhood, and shows how both nature and society have conspired to make it much harder to become, and to be, a man than a woman. Chapter 3 investigates the privileges women have historically enjoyed, and continue to enjoy, with respect to work. Chapter 4 explains how, because women have traditionally done less and easier work than men, different societies at different times and places in history have sought to ensure women’s economic welfare through support by men. Chapter 5 looks at women’s position with respect to crime and the law, and shows how laws are often drafted and applied specifically to help women. Chapter 6 shows how women have been freed from participation in war, as well as looks into the attempts to protect them against its horrors. Chapter 7 deals with the results of women being granted their privileged position, including women’s more comfortable existence, the greater attention paid to their welfare, and the longer lives they enjoy. Chapter 8 examines why women, in spite of their many privileges, continue to bemoan their lot. And finally, Chapter 9 presents my conclusions.'
